Missouri Road Song

D Bm G Bm A

        D                      Bm
Oh, good morning Missouri, and how have you been?
     G                        D       A
I’ve driven all night just to see you again
            D                     Bm
And there’s thunder behind me and plenty of wind
G                 D                A
And the mountains ahead where I’m going.
     D                   Bm
This ragged old car says Hello to you, too
          G                 D             A
It’s been many a mile since first we were through
       D                       Bm
Just a couple of drifters with nothing to do
G                D        A
But go where the wind was a-blowing.

G                                   F#m
Your cornfields lie waiting for the sweet summer sun
Bm                            D           A
To bring back the life winter took on the run
D                                           Bm
And it’s west-bound through the small towns with a song to be sung,
G              A    D            D Bm G D A
A child on the open road.        *yodel*

         D                      Bm
Oh, good morning, Missouri, the sun’s at my back
            G                    D            A
There’s the sound of a horn of a fast-rolling Mack
       D                    Bm
As it runs up behind, as it burns down the track,
G           D       A
Chasing the shadows before it.
          D                     Bm
There’s a feeling inside says I wish I could stay,
            G                            D         A
But there’s songs to be sung and there’s places to play,
            D                      Bm
And there’s plenty of time on some other old day
   G             D        A
To share one, or two, and remember.

    G                 F#m
The dark of the night lifts away with the dawn,
    Bm                        D          A
The fools on the road will be out before long,
        D                           Bm
And the birds in the fields lift to flight with a song,
G              A    D            D Bm G D A
My song of the open road.        *yodel*
G              A    D            D Bm G D A      D
My song of the open road.        *yodel*     *hold last note of yodel*
